On the August 11 edition of Flyers Daily, Jason Myrtetus and I devote the Mondays with Meltzer edition to getting real about what the organization needs to do to truly reconnect the team with the fan base. Jason identified five key elements to doing so for the long haul — winning being first and foremost — both on an off the ice. Moreover, the organization will have to take some calculated risks moving forward.
Jason and I have a very frank one-on-one talk about what’s improved during the “new era of orange” and what still needs to get better. We also tackle several ala carte items that will carry over into upcoming episodes. The 40-plus minute discussion on the state of the Flyers flew by from my point of view, and I hope viewers will enjoy it, too.
